Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2004 EXPLORER AND AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED. NOW AT 65,000 MILES ONCE AGAIN THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE GOING BAD. I HAVE NEVER OWNED NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE WHERE THE WHEEL BEARINGS ONLY LASTING ABOUT 30,000 TO 40,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE BEARINGS HOWEVER THIS TIME THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS EVERY 30,000 TO 40,000 MILES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR
